-That is this chapter!

-Confessed his love?

What if: Will had kissed Emma in the bridal studio.

Will grabbed his bag from the back of his chair and slung it around his shoulder. He shut the light to his classroom as he left and locked the door.

It was his lunch hour but instead of heading towards the faculty lounge he found himself walking towards Emma's office. He had eaten lunch the period before while his kids were taking a test because during the hour that they had for lunch, he'd be spending it outside of campus helping Emma pick out a wedding dress and giving her some dance lessons that didn't involve falling all over the floor.

His heart soared at the memory, of being so close to Emma. He had never been that close to Emma except for that time where they had hugged at the football game. That happened so quickly though and he didn't have time to really cherish it. When Emma actually fell on top of him and those few seconds where they stared into each other's eyes...it was like the world had faded away. There was no Ken and there was no Terri.

He cursed himself for thinking that way. He was married, he was having a baby and there he was thinking about another woman. He longed to push his inappropriate feelings for Emma away but every time she came into his sight they hit him like a ton of bricks.

As he stood outside the door to her office and watched her working at her desk, they came back again. They were even more inappropriate than before because of where they were going. They were leaving school to pick out a wedding dress for her wedding that was not to him. Not like it ever would be. He was married himself. He groaned under his breath. What on Earth was wrong with him? Why was he thinking about marrying Emma? Why did he secretly want to marry Emma?

He shook his head to clear his thoughts and knocked on the door. Emma glanced up from her work and smiled upon seeing Will. He gave her a weak smile and waved. She waved back and held up one finger. She quickly rushed around her office, putting things away in the filing cabinet and making sure everything was neat on her desk. She grabbed her bag and stood up. She walked gracefully towards the door and opened it, smiling at him.

"Hi."

"Hey," He greeted warmly. For a few moments he was mesmerized by her smile, "You uh, you ready to go?"

"Ready as I'll ever be." Emma replied with a fake smile. Will wasn't stupid, he knew that Emma didn't like Ken. He saw the way she flinched whenever he came within a foot of her, he saw the annoyed looks she gave him, he saw the way she was uncomfortable around him. He knew Emma did not want to marry Ken, so the question that constantly ran through his mind ever since Emma told him about the engagement was: why was Emma marrying him?

They stopped off at the attendance office to properly sign our for their lunch hour and then headed off to the parking lot. Their cars were coincidentally parked only a few spaces away from each other.

"So..." Will clasped his hands together and Emma glanced over at him. "Whose car?"

Emma's eyes widened slightly and she smiled sheepishly. "I was actually thinking that we could...you know...take our separate cars just in case."

Will's felt his stomach drop slightly at the thought of not being in the same car with Emma. Once his head picked up the signal his heart was giving him he realized that it probably was a good thing that they took separate cars. The less alone time he spent with Emma the less tempted he would be to act on his feelings for her.

Will nodded in agreement. "Yeah, that's a good idea. You know how to get there?"

She smiled and giggled, "Lima is a small town Will, its pretty hard to get lost here."

He blinked. "Uh...right."

She giggled again and started towards her car, "I'll meet you there Will."

He turned as he watched her and lifted his hand in a wave. As she opened the door to her car, she paused, smiled at him and then slipped in.

He smiled back and started towards his car, sighing as he looked at the old piece of metal. He had had the car for years and years and how he wished he could afford a new one. Not that there were many fancy cars in Lima, Ohio but he didn't want to have the crappiest one. He knew he could possibly save up for one but Terri insisted on using his left over money to buy her so called needs. He wished he could do something about Terri's pointless spending but it was a pointless battle, Terri won every single time. Their life was becoming pointless battles, it was a rarity in their marriage nowadays to actually have a peaceful, happy moment between them. They were always arguing about something. Which is why Will so looked forward to work everyday, he got to see his glee kids and best of all, he got to see Emma. Emma never failed to put a smile on his face.

Will didn't even tell Terri that he was going to give Emma dancing lessons, give Emma dancing lessons in her wedding dress. He knew that if he did tell her another argument would come evolve. When Terri came to substitute as a nurse he sensed some tension between his wife and his best friend. He saw the way Terri looked at Emma with suspicious, narrowed eyes and whenever Emma was in the same room as him she'd get extremely clingy. At that point in time he thought Terri was ridiculous for being jealous of Emma but soon after he realized she wasn't far off. There were times that he and Emma were so close he wanted nothing more than to kiss her. Like when she wiped the mustard off his chin or when she fell on top of him in his spanish room. Each time he fought against those feelings though because he had morals, he didn't want to cheat on his wife no matter how miserable his marriage was at the time.

As he drove down to the the bridal store, he groaned realizing that he took his own car to not think about Emma but wound up thinking about her anyway.

Still trying to push his feelings back, he pulled into the parking lot and parked in the empty spot beside Emma's car. As he put the car into park he noticed Emma waiting for him near the entrance and his breath hitched in his chest. The sun shined directly onto her, reflecting off her pale white skin and making her hair form a pretty red halo around her face.

Her eyes fell on his car and she smiled, her bright smile lighting up her face even more. He blinked, unable to keep his eyes off of her and unable to move.

Emma's face slowly twisted up into confusion however, her sweet smile remained on her lips.

He licked his dry lips and shook his head, turning off the car and stepping out. He slammed the door closed, grabbed the mini stereo he had put in the backseat, and made his way over to Emma, finally breathing again.

Her eyes questioned his pause in the car but he didn't feel like explaining that he was thinking adulterous thoughts about her. Instead he only smiled and held out his arm towards the front doors. "Shall we go in?"

Emma smiled again and she nodded, letting Will open the door for her like the gentleman he was, and she stepped inside.

Will stepped in behind her and looked around at the front room. It had many mannequins standing around the room with all different types of wedding dresses. There were the white, fluffy, princess type dresses that Terri insisted on wearing and the more simplistic type that he could see Emma wearing.

A young, friendly looking woman, with a smile on her face approached them. "Hello, hello. My name is Mandy, what may I help you with today?"

"Um..." Emma started with a shy smile, "I need um...I need a wedding dress." She said it quietly, almost like she was afraid to say it.

Mandy glanced at Will and then back to Emma. "You're letting your fiance see you in your wedding dress?"

Will and Emma's eyes both widened and they quickly glanced at each other, each of them blushing heavily and they turned back to Mandy both stuttering a response.

"Oh we're not..."

"I'm just here to..."

"...He's not my..."

"...I'm married so..."

"...its not like that..."

"...we're just friends." Will finished for them, both of their faces burning.

Mandy glanced back and forth between them as they stumbled their way through an explanation and raised an eyebrow skeptically.

She shrugged, "Well alright then. Why don't you two come along then?" Mandy turned around, hiding a secretive smile and led Emma and Will through the store.

"I'm sorry I didn't quite catch your name." Mandy looked over her shoulder towards Emma.

"Oh I'm um...I'm Emma."

"Okay Emma," Mandy paused and Emma came to a short stop, Will nearly crashing to her. "We have plenty of dresses here for you to choose from. What exactly are you looking for?"

"Well, um, I'm looking for something thats rather cheap and not too fancy. I was going to borrow my cousin's dress but it had an incredibly long train and it wound up ending her marriage and when I tried to dance in it Will here tripped over it and he's a skilled dancer I don't know how my...um...Ken would be with it and I don't know how I would be able to dance with it."

Will smiled and beamed with pride upon hearing Emma compliment him. He noticed Emma kept babbling on and Mandy was giving her an amused look. He slipped a hand onto her shoulder and she immediately stopped talking. Her body tensed for a moment but then relaxed as she turned to look at him. He gave her a pointed look and she blushed heavily, biting her lip.

"So you just want something simple?" Mandy concluded, eyeing the two in their moment.

Emma reluctantly tore her gaze away from Will and she nodded quietly towards Mandy.

"Well we've got a great selection for you. If you'll like I'll pick out some of the ones that I think will suit you well."

Emma nodded again. "That would be wonderful, thank you."

"If you both will follow me please." Mandy said with a smile and led them into the back studio.

The room was on average sized, lined with mirrors and a dressing room in the back. It was a perfect place for dancing unlike his spanish classroom.

After Emma told Mandy her size, Mandy gathered up a few dresses and led Emma back into the dressing room. Will took a seat in a chair near the dressing room and absentmindedly started to play with a garter.

After about ten minutes he glanced at the clock and called into the back room. "Are you ready yet? We've only got an hour for lunch Emma."

"It's not like trying on a pair of jeans Will." Emma's amused voice floated back.

"It doesn't have to be perfect, we just need to see if you can dance in it." He heard her heels clicking against the floor and turned his head sideways, letting out a breath, mentally preparing himself for what he could possibly see.

As he turned to look at her however, nothing could prepare him for what he did see. As his eyes fell on her, the garter went flying out of his hands and he just stared at her.

The simple white dress fell all the way down to her feet and covered everything up to her neck, it had barely any sleeves exposing the skin of her arms and shoulders, except for the gloves that came just above her elbows. Her hair was pulled back, Will realized he had never seen her with her hair back, and her crowning her red hair was a simple hair band.

"Fits okay?" She asked hesitantly.

He blinked as he continued to stare at her, unable to look anywhere else. "Yeah..." He slowly stood up. "Fits great." He finished with a nervous laugh.

She flashed a small smile at him. "Terrific." She whispered and walked over to one of the room's many mirrors. As he watched her walk over, his eyes followed her in momentary awe. Will didn't think it was possibly but she looked even more beautiful in her this wedding dress than she did in the last one.

He slowly followed her over to the mirror, walking up behind her, gauging her reaction. She seemed to be processing the way she looked and then she smiled slightly, awing her ownself with her beauty.

"Yeah." He spoke again more confidently this time. "Terrific."

Emma's smile brightened and so did his as they stared at their own reflections in the mirror. As he stood beside her in the mirror, her in her wedding dress and him in his some-what dressy school clothes he had a quick vision of himself standing at the alter and Emma approaching him from down the aisle. He quickly shook it off though and looked away from the reflection and to her, "Uh...so should we see if you can dance in it?"

Emma silently nodded with a bright smile and he couldn't help but smile in return. "Okay." He walked away from the mirror and over to the stereo, taking out a CD from its case. "This is the instrumental version of your wedding song. You can sing a long if you want to it will help your foot work." Where that was true, he also wanted to hear Emma sing. He wanted to see if she had a beautiful voice to match that beautiful face.

As he walked back over to Emma, he saw her smile at him through the mirror and he reached over and slipped his hand into her gloved one. Instead of flinching whenever Ken touched her, she simply turned around and followed him out into the middle of the studio without a hint of resistance. He let go of her hand and bowed to her, seeing out of the corner of his eye that she curtsied along. He took her hand again and led her other hand to rest on his shoulder and then brought his hand to rest on her waist.

Emma quickly glanced up at him, a happy smile on her face and he smiled back dipping her down right before the song vocal part of the song came in.

Looking right into his eyes, Emma sucked in a breath and with a happy smile, started to sing. Will almost stopped breathing at the first few notes of the song. Emma's singing voice was all he expected it to be and more. He fully had to concentrate on his dancing and not on the woman he was dancing with if he wanted to be swift and smooth.

He led her all across the studio with twists and turns, listening to Emma's heavenly voice fill his ears. While just seconds ago it worried him that he would be distracted by her voice, instead it helped him more. It helped him get lost in his own little world where it was only him and Emma. They weren't in a small bridal salon in Lima, Ohio they were dancing above the sky, floating through the clouds with nothing and no one to worry about. He didn't even notice the knowing, dreamy looks the ladies in the shop were giving each other and them.

As the song came to a close, Will lifted Emma into the air, frankly amazed how much Emma trusted him, and then spun her into a dip, the last notes of the song ringing in his ears.

Instead of bringing her back up, Will continued to keep her in the dip, holding her up with one arm, while the other rested on top of hers that was over his heart. He was sure that Emma could feel it beating rapidly. Emma's face was lit up and she was smiling brightly as she stared up at him.

He stared deep into her eyes and his feelings for her came flooding into his body in an uncontrollable rush. He was sure everything he felt for the woman currently in his arms could be clearly seen on his face.

Before he could back out, like he knew he should, he hastily leaned forward and captured her lips in a kiss. Faintly, he could hear Emma's squeak of surprise as his lips met hers and her body tensed under him. Then her gloved hand moved away from his heart and slid up to rest on his face and soon enough he felt Emma kiss him back.

His other arm slid around her waist to hold her up better and completely losing himself to the world, he kissed the woman he secretly loved as if it was the last one they'd ever have, which it very well could be.

Only when he felt the strain in his lungs for oxygen did he pull away. His eyes fluttered open and he could see Emma's lips were slightly more pink than usual which probably meant his were as well.

He licked his lips, his heart leaping at the taste of Emma, as Emma's eyes slowly fluttered open. Her wide eyes met his and he could see all the shock, fear and love she was surely feeling.

"Yeah.." He whispered and her eyes twitched in confusion. He swallowed and continued breathlessly. "You can dance in it." His eyes lingered on hers for a few mores seconds and then he quickly brought her back up onto her feet and let go of her, walking over towards his things.

Even though his back was turned he could practically feel the confusion radiating off of Emma. He felt bad, he didn't want to leave her confused, she deserved some explanation, she deserved to not him him kiss her and run off. But, what could he say? That kiss was not supposed to happen. It felt wonderful and he was glad that he did get to kiss Emma but it was wrong. He was married, she was getting married, they were practicing dancing for her wedding for pete's sake! The best they could do to avoid any conflict with their partners was to pretend it never happened.

He gathered his things and turned back to Emma, daring a glance at her and found her staring off looking dazed and confused. "Got the big showdown today at 3:30 and I want to be there for the kids no matter what happens."

He walked towards her and for a second avoided her gaze looking around the room and then down the ground, clearing his throat.

"Wait...what show down?" Emma asked turning towards him although it was clear her mind was still on the kiss. "I thought..I thought you and Sue had that last week." Her voice was weak and breathless, her chest rising and falling sharply, still trying to catch her breath.

He let out a sigh, kissing her was a really bad idea. "Between me and your fiance."

Emma's eyes widened slightly and he wasn't sure if it was because of the showdown or the fact that she was reminded that she did have a fiance.

He went with the former to avoid awkwardness, "Ken's told all the football players in glee that they have to choose between the club and the team and unless all the guys choose glee it looks like we won't have enough members for sectionals."

"And glee is over." Emma concluded.

Will nodded. "I know." He whispered and sucked in a breath. "Well wish me luck." He laughed softly and quickly walked past her, trying to avoid any conversation about the kiss.

He paused in the doorway and just like that day when Emma told him she was marrying Ken, their eyes connected from across the way. Emma licked her lips and her wide eyes stared at him making her look like a little bunny quivering in fear.

In that stare they made a silent agreement, that the kiss would not be spoken aloud to anyone but in their hearts they'd never forget it happened.

Will licked his lips once more, shifted his bag over his shoulder, and walked away from Emma, his head reeling and his heart pounding.

What'd ya think?
